14. Nathan Jeffery, UTEP: After a quiet freshman season, Jeffery burst onto the scene as a sophomore by torching Oklahoma for 177 yards in his first career start. It wasn’t his only explosive outing of the season – Jeffery cross the 130-yard threshold four times last year – and if it weren’t for a groin injury that kept him out of two games and severely hampered him in another, he would’ve finished with even more than 897 yards and seven TDs on the season. The Miners offense should be solid with Jeffery and transfer QB Jameill Showers in the backfield.
